Hi Lisa,
We are using an old computer running Porteus Kiosk
<https://porteus-kiosk.org/>.
Porteus Kiosk is a lightweight Gentoo-based Linux operating system
which has been downscaled and confined to allow the use of one
application only - the Firefox web browser. The browser has been
locked down to prevent users from tampering with settings or
downloading and installing software. When the kiosk boots, it
automatically opens Firefox to the user's preferred home page. The
browsing history is not kept, no passwords are saved, and many menu
items have been disabled for increased security. When Firefox is
restarted all caches are cleared and the browser reopens with a clean
session
Ours is set to only go to our OPAC or our main web site.

Hello everyone
I am hoping those of you with experience of implementing self-service with Koha
would be able to give me some assistance.
We are looking at implementing self-service in order to extend our service
hours – however I have little experience of this, especially what hardware
would be needed.
Am I right in thinking that it is not actually necessary to buy one of the very
fancy free standing units I have seen in many supplier catalogues? We have no
alarm system in any of our libraries (there are six of them, most of them
relatively small with less than 3000 items each, no RFID). Ideally I need to
find a cost effective solution, ideally something which would also incorporate
generating a receipt (so students have proof of check in).
Could anyone advise me of what we would need and possible price?
Regards
Lisa
